		The Mormon church supports one male, many female poligamy (poligyny).
		In the recent past, they&apos;ve had to <a href="https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/topic/polygamy">publicly retract this support</a>, but to the best of my knowledge, it&apos;s still present within the actual beliefs and customs of the church.
		For example, if a male and female get sealed (in marriage) in the temple, they become bound forever, unless the male decides to let the female out of the sealing.
		The female is then unable to become sealed to someone else.
		However, the male can be sealed with another female, and in heaven, he supposedly will have both females as wives.
		Compare this with what their holy book has said, right from the beginning of the religion:

		<blockquote>
			<p>
				But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes.
				For behold, thus saith the Lord:
				This people begin to wax in iniquity; they understand not the scriptures, for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms, because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son.
			</p>
			<p>
				Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
			</p>
			<p>
				Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem, by the power of mine arm, that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.
			</p>
			<p>
				Wherefore, I the Lord God will not suffer that this people shall do like unto them of old.
			</p>
			<p>
				Wherefore, my brethren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord:
				For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife; and concubines he shall have none;
			</p>
			<p>
				For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.
			</p>

		First of all, Jehovah delights in the chastity of women?
		But not men?
		That&apos;s sexist!
		But also, this isn&apos;t an issue of the chastity of women.
		The women are taking one man in this scenario.
		It&apos;s the chastity of the <strong>*men*</strong> that&apos;s an issue, when you&apos;ve got one man with many women.

		Later, we see the Lamanites brought up, who are praised for following the rule of monogamy, unlike the Nephites:
	</p>
	<div class="cited-quotation">
		<cite>Jacob 3:5 - 3:6</cite>
		<blockquote>
			<p>
				Behold, the Lamanites your brethren, whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath come upon their skins, are more righteous than you; for they have not forgotten the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto our father-that they should have save it were one wife, and concubines they should have none, and there should not be whoredoms committed among them.
			</p>
			<p>
				And now, this commandment they observe to keep; wherefore, because of this observance, in keeping this commandment, the Lord God will not destroy them, but will be merciful unto them; and one day they shall become a blessed people.
			</p>
